That action should have taken place at either the defendant's arraignment, preliminary hearing, or bail hearing. A pre-trial conference is between the prosecutor and the defense attorney in which they discuss "disclosure,' exchange witness lists and other administrative matters pertaining to the conduct of the upcoming trial. You could write a letter , or request a meeting with the prosecutor, to try and impress on him the danger that the 'free' defendant poses. If he can be convinced, he can submit a motion to the court requesting the defendant's bail be revoked. Also, check to see if your local law enforcement agency (or the prosecutor's office) might have a Victim/Witness Advocate program which might be able to help you.

What is proximate cause as it relates to the tort of negligence?

Proximate cause in the tort of negligence refers to the legal concept that relates the defendant's actions to the plaintiff's injuries. It implies that the defendant's actions were the primary cause of the harm suffered by the plaintiff and that this harm was a foreseeable consequence of the defendant's actions. In other words, for the defendant to be held liable, the plaintiff must demonstrate that there was a direct link between the defendant's actions and the harm suffered.

Another defense is "self-defense," suggesting that the defendant acted to protect themselves from imminent harm, thus justifying their actions.
